“When Russell Scott puts on a show you can be guaranteed that the music and the cast will be of the highest quality. I can assure you that every bar of music and every vocal line and lyric will have been forensically scrutinised before they are presented to an audience.

From a songwriter’s point of view I am delighted to say that our songs are in very safe hands indeed.” read more

“Dear Russell,

Just a quickie to thank you and the team for a great presentation of my songs. I am very flattered and very grateful. I am so glad I was able to come.

All four performers (plus you of course!) were top notch and I hope I get the chance to work with you and them again one day.” read more
